Jesus, our Brother and Teacher, let us remember that you are always in our midst, and welcome you into our hearts and our lives.
May we see Christ in each hungry person, man, woman, or child, and feed them as Jesus fed the multitudes.
May we love Christ in each person who thirsts, and give them something to drink, as Jesus is the wellspring of life.
May we welcome Christ in each person who is a stranger to us, as Jesus welcomes the outcast and lost.
May we know Christ in each naked person, and clothe and honor them, as Jesus clothes us in wisdom and compassion.
May we adore Christ in each person who is ill, and tenderly care for them, as Jesus heals us through everlasting love.
May we be with Christ in each person who is imprisoned, and be with them, as Jesus forgives and bears all our own brokenness.
Holy One, you call us to the path of life modelled by your great love and tenderness: grant us the grace to do your will. Help us to tear down our barriers and open our hearts to Love Incarnate that seeks to live within us. Stretch out your hand of blessing and peace upon all who turn to You, O Savior, especially those we now name.
Amen.
